B-Man Posted May 9 Posted May 9 The Democrat Party’s Antisemitism Went Mainstream With Barack Obama by Shawn Fleetwood For a man who has never been shy about sharing his sanctimonious opinions, former President Barack Obama has been noticeably quiet about anti-Israel anarchists’ takeover of U.S. college campuses. On Monday, Columbia University — Obama’s alma mater — announced it will not host its university-wide commencement ceremony for this year’s graduating class. That appears to be a response to the pro-Hamas demonstrations that have engulfed the school for weeks. The announcement came days after the university (finally) permitted law enforcement to arrest participants unlawfully occupying a school building. https://thefederalist.com/2024/05/07/the-democrat-partys-antisemitism-went-mainstream-with-barack-obama/ .
B-Man Posted May 10 Posted May 10 Joe has always been a d*ck. BEGIN & BIBI V. BIDEN In a November 2020 Wall Street Journal column Tevi Troy recalled “When Biden Met Begin” (posted in accessible form on Pundicity). Tevi recounted how Biden and Begin once clashed in a private June 1982 session with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee: Mr. Biden, 39, lectured the 68-year-old [Israeli Prime Minister Menachem] Begin over Israeli settlements, jabbing his finger at the prime minister and banging his fist on the desk. Mr. Biden warned that eroding support for Israel threatened U.S. aid. Israel was at war in Lebanon and far more dependent on American assistance than it is today. Begin wouldn’t be cowed. “Don’t threaten us with cutting off aid to give up our principles,” he shouted back, according to Time magazine. Former Sen. Bob Packwood of Oregon later recalled that Begin went further: “I’m not a Jew with trembling knees,” he reminded Mr. Biden. In the lore that has since developed, Begin’s response supposedly continued: “I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid.” Tevi leaves open the possibly apocryphal nature of the end of the quote. In the Hebrew-language message below, Prime Minister Netanyahu now echoes Begin’s words, apocryphal or not, and responds to the same old Biden: https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/05/the-echo-of-begin.php .
B-Man Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Jews are figuring out that Biden and the Democrats are not their friends by Andrea Widburg The Bible calls the Jews “a stiff-necked” people. (“The Lord also said to me, ‘I have seen this people, and they are indeed a stiff-necked people.’” Deuteronomy 9:13.) In other words, they’re stubborn, and nothing has been more stubborn than American Jews’ long-standing refusal to acknowledge the rising antisemitism in the heart of the Democrat party. Donald Trump’s pro-Israel record barely swayed them. However, Biden’s blatant anti-Israel policies, combined with the violent antisemitism in academia, may finally be doing the trick. Traditionally, Jews have been second only to blacks in their fealty to the Democrat party. Many of them came from Tsarist Russia, which was fiercely antisemitic. https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/05/jews_are_figuring_out_that_biden_and_the_democrats_are_not_their_friends.html .

B-Man Posted May 19 Posted May 19 WILL THE ANTI-SEMITES PAY? Protesting for Hamas may have seemed like a lark to students at “elite” colleges and law schools, but it turns out that there might actually be consequences. Law firms, in particular, have expressed unwillingness to hire anti-Semites. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/05/will-the-anti-semites-pay.php
B-Man Posted May 19 Posted May 19 IT’S AN ELECTION YEAR, SO ASSUME THEY’RE JUST GETTING STARTED: Anti-Israel uprisings hit dangerous new extreme in Michigan. ByBrad Polumbo This is not normal. The anti-Israel uprisings at colleges across the country have featured violence (from both sides), vandalism, unlawful occupations known as “encampments,” and many other acts that go well beyond free speech. And now, at the University of Michigan, this radical protest movement just crossed the line into dangerous new territory. This week, agitators reportedly showed up at the homes of University of Michigan Board of Regents members in the middle of the night, invading their private property. They chanted on their lawns and brought with them fake corpses, faux bloodied sheets, and lists of demands, including, bizarrely, completely unrelated desires such as “defunding the police.” https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/3007769/anti-israel-uprisings-hit-dangerous-new-extreme-in-michigan/
B-Man Posted May 29 Posted May 29 TRUTH. Obama-Biden Have Been Punishing Israel Since 2013 American Thinker, by Edward Davis Joe Biden’s vicious betrayal of Israel has surprised and alienated some of his supporters, who thought he was a moderate Democrat. In the most recent outrage, his administration sent condolences over the death of Iran’s President Raisi and joined the U.N. in a reverent minute of silence. In stark contrast, Biden disparaged Prime Minister Netanyahu as “a bad f------ guy and “***hole” at a time when Israelis were traumatized and fighting for their lives. It was predictable, considering that Biden brought back much of the foreign policy team of President Obama, whose backstabbing of the Jewish state foreshadowed Biden's hostile policies. https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2024/05/obama_biden_have_been_punishing_israel_since_2013.html .
B-Man Posted May 31 Posted May 31 Fighting back Examples of courage, decency and sanity at a time of madness MELANIE PHILLIPS At this terrible time for the Jewish people, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by the sheer weight of unreason and hatred and to feel that the entire world is against us. Well, it’s not. There are countless numbers of good people who are appalled by the onslaught within the west against Israel and the Jews. And there are Jews and others who are fighting back for decency and sanity. Here are a few examples. Just over a week ago, the Phoenix cinema in London screened a film about the massacre at the Supernova music festival during the October 7 Hamas-led pogrom in Israel, when hundreds of young music fans were mown down as they ran from the gunmen. A pro-Hamas mob naturally besieged the cinema in an attempt to stop the screening. But on this occasion, they didn’t have it their own way. The Israel supporters fought back and refused to allow them to control the streets. https://melaniephillips.substack.com/p/fighting-back 1
B-Man Posted June 13 Posted June 13 ANTI-SEMITISM IN NEW YORK In the last 48 hours, there have been two horrific anti-Semitic incidents in New York City. On Monday, a gang of masked thugs took over a subway car, following a pro-Hamas demonstration: Masked anti-Israel protesters took over a New York City subway car on Monday and demanded to know if there were any “Zionists” on the train — then warned them: “This is your chance to get out.” {snip} But the second factor is more chilling. I think most people do not understand the extent to which anti-Semitism has been institutionalized in much of America’s educational system. We have seen this for years at the college level, and now it has infected our high schools, middle schools and elementary schools. The ideology being promoted by the Left adopts the scheme that was popularized by al Qaeda and the Iranian mullahs. They denominated Israel the “Little Satan” and the U.S. the “Great Satan.” That is exactly how our two countries are seen by today’s Left. Students at all levels are now being inculcated with the idea that the great evil of world history is “settler colonialism.” What, exactly, is settler colonialism, a recent addition to the Left’s lexicon? It turns out that in all of history, there are just two main examples of this evil phenomenon: Israel–never mind that the Jews arrived there more than two millennia before the Arabs–and the United States. The Little Satan and the Great Satan. If your children are attending a public K-12 school, it is likely that they are being introduced to this ideology. So it seems to me that the resurgence of anti-Semitism that we are now seeing is not entirely irrational or inexplicable. On the contrary, it has more of an official sanction than is commonly recognized. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/06/anti-semitism-in-new-york.php .
B-Man Posted June 17 Posted June 17 THEY ARE THE NAZIS THEY WARNED US ABOUT: Bill Maher Asks an Important Question: “How Come it’s Okay for the Left to Hate the Jews?” This weekend on his HBO show, Bill Maher asked his guests why the left is allowed to openly express hatred towards Jews. Maher gets plenty of things wrong on a regular basis, but on this topic, he has been consistently correct. Everyone knows that the behavior of the radical left in recent months would not be permitted if they were acting out against other groups. https://legalinsurrection.com/2024/06/bill-maher-asks-an-important-question-how-come-its-okay-for-the-left-to-hate-the-jews/ 1

"warned them: “This is your chance to get out.” I've always been under the impression that making terroristic threats was a criminal act. Caught on camera no less But these flunkies get a pass as is typical. Just don't try this yourself, like maybe criticizing the Pride parade. You'll be hauled off in an instant. That's how the regime works. My take is these Hamas characters and their supporters are real tough guys when it comes to raping women or holding unarmed hostages at gunpoint but its a completely different story when fighting straight up man-to-man against armed and motivated combatants. If they don't like what's going on in Gaza they can do something. Hamas can simply surrender. Edited June 17 by All_Pro_Bills 1 1
